Best heavyweight jab ever?

[Derranged_]

IMO when evaluating a fighter's jab, you have to look at the results. Does the jab setup other punches? Does it bust up the opponent's face? Is it quick and sharp? Can it be used defensively to keep an opponent off?

When considering the aforementioned criteria, I vote Muhammad Ali. His jab was one of his signature punches and best weapons and he used it probably just as good as anyone else in the hw game..

Ali and Holmes for me. Ali's slightly faster, Holmes' slightly more concussive.

Does no one remember what a terrific jab Walcott had too?

1. Sonny Liston
2. Larry Holmes
3. Joe Louis

I would agree with the general consensus and say: Liston, Holmes and Ali (No order)

Pinklon Thomas definitely deserves a mentioned in this thread as well, not the best ever HW jab but a very very good one!

That thing Wlad paws with is considered a jab?

if wlad doesnt have a jab i dont know who does
he sometimes paws with it
but to say he doesnt have a jab
much less a great one

Compared to guys like Liston and Holmes he doesn't have a jab. I don't grade on a curve so Vitali's kid sister doesn't get a boost because today's Heavyweights can't wipe their asses with their jabs.

Sonny Liston.He had the longest reach,and the most powerfull jab of all-time.

Liston once knocked out the teeth of an opponent with his left jab!
